WSAs edited pursuant to: S. 47: John D. Dingell, Jr. Conservation, Management, and Recreation Act Public Law 116-9, March 12, 2019. Data within these services are a live copy of BLM Utah's enterprise production environment. Quality control is conducted annually. These data sets represent the spatial extent and boundaries of the BLM National Conservation Lands (NCL) Wilderness Study Areas. The Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 directed the Bureau to inventory and study its roadless areas for wilderness characteristics. To be designated as a Wilderness Study Area, an area has to have the following characteristics: Size - roadless areas of at least 5,000 acres of public lands or of a manageable size; Naturalness - generally appears to have been affected primarily by the forces of nature; Opportunities - provides outstanding opportunities for solitude or primitive and unconfined types of recreation. In addition, Wilderness Study Areas often have special qualities such as ecological, geological, educational, historical, scientific and scenic values.
